“I play around with what I see, I forget about what it is or its colour, I only perceive the changes which occur when I move." (Kelly)
Green Relief is part of a series of superimposed monochrome panels. Ellsworth Kelly continued his research on a style of painting that expressed the immediate power of colour. This strikingly intense, irregularly shaped green panel is noticeably placed at an angle that contrasts with the underlying white panel. Simply taking forms seen in reality, the artist presents them to the spectator and offers a single perspective that captures rhythm, dimensions or shifts.
